Fifth class attend launch of the first ever ‘National Physical activity Plan’ for Ireland!
Last week Thursday (14/1/16) Ms O Brien’s 5th class (EX1) got the chance to attend the launch of the nations first ever plan for Physical activity. This was held in Ballybough Community centre and a number of key Ministers were present to illustrate the importance of Physical activity in our lives.
Ex 1 did the school proud by showcasing some of their hoola hooping and skipping moves!
Here are some of the recommended guidelines from this plan:
Children and young people (aged 2 –18)
All children and young people should be active, at a moderate to vigorous level, for at least 60 minutes every day. This should include muscle-strengthening, flexibility and bone-strengthening exercises 3 times a week.
Adults (aged 18–64)
Adults should be active for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity on 5 days a week (or 150 minutes a week).
Older people (aged 65+)
Older people should be active for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity activity on 5 days a week, or 150 minutes a week with a focus on aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening and balance.
Adults with disabilities
People with disabilities should be as active as their ability allows. Aim to meet adult guidelines of at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on 5 days a week.
Do you meet the requirements?
